Tuesday's Sound Off

Tuesday, December 10, 2013

For everyone in Pottstown saying theyíd rather go to Phoenixville Hospital, to me youíd be missing out on a lot. Iíve been in the emergency room and Iíve had recent stays on the third and sixth floors. I am a young woman and they treat you with the utmost respect. Thank you to the sixth floor for giving me such well care. Thank you to the ER for not just giving me tests and sending me off. I wouldnít recommend any other hospital.

A LOYAL PATIENTWell the good news is that Bashir can quit, resign, be fired, whatever but he will never escape the image he has created for himself with his filthy Sarah Palin comments. And every possibility of that happening will be right there to remind him and his potential new employers.

Iím calling to acknowledge and address those who donít know how to drive when an ambulance is coming from the opposite direction and they pull over into the other lane to get off the side of the road. I just think they should learn how to drive or stay off the road.

This is for everybody who says Obama lied about everything. George Bush he didnít lie did he when he said weapons of mass destruction. Whereís the weapons?

Since most of the people who comment in Sound Off donít sign their name, itís obvious that many of these people have strong convictions for which they want someone else to provide the courage.

JIM FITCHAbout the greed running rampant in this country. An example, couple of years ago we went to Hershey Park and paid $6 for parking, went in the Chocolate World and you can go through the park to ride the rides, etc. Now weíre going up and find out the parking is now $8 to $10 and it will cost you $12.50 to go into the park for the Christmas Land. It never ends. This country is all about greed and making more money off of everybody.

A correction to a Sound Off. We received the free choice of an appetizer at Red Lobster the day after Veteranís Day. The waitress asked if my husband was a veteran. A nice gesture.

Gov. Corbett said he wouldnít raise taxes or increase transportation fees but he lied.

Nixon was impeached for Watergate, then there was the Clinton scandal, then George W. Bush sent us to war in Iraq with many of our men losing their lives and think of all the innocent little children without fathers. Now we have Obamagate. This country was never in as bad a shape as it is now. Letís clean house in Washington.

A SENIOR TAXPAYERI saw in the paper about pensions which everybody should be aware of how expensive it is. I respect teachers as far as going to college and all but you canít just keep taking everything away from us. Youíre going to be the king and queen of Pennsylvania with pensions and weíre going to live in poverty because of you. Youíd better start paying some of your own pensions. Nothing surprises me anymore. Thereís too much greed.

To all the Limerick and Linfield residents, just to let you know that the Give and Take Thrift Shop at the Cornerstone Family Church on Main Street in Linfield is closed for the winter effective Saturday, Dec. 7.

I have just again watched an old video of Gone With The Wind. I was crying. A terrible price was paid to unite our country as one nation under God, a God who created all colors and all races. Isnít it time to grow up and move on and keep America united no matter what the race or color?

THE WISE OLD LADYI have two brilliant ideas that could solve all the financial woes facing local municipalities, school districts, counties, cities and states. It will solve our nationís deficit. It will address the minimum wage and exploding pensions. It will take care of gasoline taxes and solve school administrator raises. The solutions are: one, continue to vote for Democrats and, two, letís just print more money. What do you think?

The Exeter parents who drop students off at the high school at the cul-de-sac out front need to be more careful. Students cross at that intersection to go into the building and you need to be more aware when you leave that driveway. Recently a car came flying out from the stop sign and almost hit a student crossing. I stopped to let that student pass in front of me but you werenít even watching and almost hit that student.

The holiday concert at North Coventry Elementary School was beautiful. Thank you to all the dedicated teachers and volunteers and of course the talented students who worked so hard to make this happen.
